*******Submitted by Tracey:
Our most recent descent into the naughty world of ILS was my best friend - out on a date with very new potential boyfriend. they were having a very nice evening and had begun to chat about ex's, jeremy confessed that he was still feeling a little bit upset as his ex-girlfriend nora, wasn't so much an ex, as dead. at this point my friend had to look away and sink her fingernails rather hard into her leg - resulting in an expression of pained concern which jeremy took as encouragment.

jeremy continued: she was a keen hill walker (pause, tamsin starts to feel lips twitching and a bubble of giggle rising) but she wasn't very good at it. (inner hysteria threatens to give her a hernia) she went up a hill without a map and got a bit lost and then the mist rolled in and she.....fell into a ravine. tamsin had to leave the table and make a hasty exit into the loo with tears of pain and suppressed laughter rolling down her cheeks.

a few days later, the story got even worse. apparently, jeremy and nora (poor girl) had been having an on/off relationship for 8 years, but had never kissed or anything. well, the weekend that she fell of/into the ravine they had decided that they did love each other and were very happy, but tragically, the one night they actually spent together in the same bed, nora discovered that her period had started, so they never even got to have sex!!! and then she died.

i rather like that story - it's just so bizarre and soooo painfully funny because it's not. tamsin tells it better in the flesh, she keeps saying things like 'it's really not that funny, no. it really isn't'. and then collapsing in a heap of bendy bones.

Don't we all get that on occasion? We should feel ashamed of ourselves because stuff like that really is not funny. Even though we laugh anyway, and feel guilty afterwards. Like I'm feeling now.

I think we need go no further than typing in "Darwin Awards" in any half decent search engine and scanning the results

P.S. Its only funny until someone gets hurt - then it's absolutely hilarious!

Absynthe, I suffer from this as well! Absolutely nothing worse than "losing it" in an inappropriate place, especially something solemn like a funeral.

There have been many times when I have, as a moderator, been called on to "chastise" someone in a thread, and have done so while snickering so hard over the joke they pulled in the first place I could barely type. Unfortunately, not everyone has a sense of humor on this forum, and we have to constantly monitor for things that may be offensive to some, although not to everyone. Do realize that just because I or another mod may have to curtail a thread, didn't mean we didn't get a flaming kick out of it. A lot of times we're called on by others, or when it's a clear breach of forum policy.

I can probably count on one hand the number of topics I've found truly offensive here at IW. Most of them were "flame" related and have long since been resolved, so 'nuff said on that.

If I remember something inappropriate that I guffawed at, you can bet I'll post it here!

Cheers,

Sazerac, thanks, I figured if there was a problem with anything posted in here, one of you mods would be on it... and I certainly would expect a quick response to anything that was not o.k.
In my professional capacity I am often in a position of censoring something that I find personally amusing, so I understand where you're coming from. I'm kinda hoping that this thread lasts for awhile without any problems....time will tell.

heheh, i tend to laugh at dark things like this. usually if someones joking around (or as i sometimes put it when im in a grumpy mood, 'being an idiot'), i usually tell them to shut up or just ignore them. but if its some kind of dark humor thing, i kinda snicker so that they dont know im laughing, kinda like when a teacher is yelling at another kid and you just want to laugh soo much but you cant cuz if you do, shell turn on you.

Who doesnt laugh when someone trips and falls?
Thats the best slapstick around!
...Until you get a dirty look from the person who fell or
if they broke a hip or something!

So a couple of years ago, my wife and I are in Las Vegas, walking through a casino (The Mirage actually) and we pass a change booth where you can cash in tokens for money. A rather portly gent is just leaving the window. In one hand, he holds a fresh tropical drink, full to the brim and complete with umbrella. In the other hand, he has his wallet, fat with the cash he's just won at some gaming table. This man has beat the odds, broke the bank, snagged a drink, and is generally feeling quite full of himself.
Not a scant two steps from the booth, in full traffic, (the casino is busy as hell), in full view of all and sundry... his trousers hit the floor.
Briefly, his face goes blank as he tries to comprehend what has just happened. He looks down hesitantly, almost hopefully, but no, his trousers are in fact puddled at his feet. Thank god for long shirt-tails. Now he's thinking desperately what to do.... can't drop the wallet, no way. Can't set down the drink, it'll get knocked over.
Ponder, ponder.
AH-HAH! hold wallet and drink in one hand, carefully bend over and sneak trousers back up with other hand, and all will be well. He carefully transfers his wallet to the hand carrying the drink, bends down ever so slowly, hooks his trousers with the other hand and..... dumps his drink full on into his pants, little blue umbrella and all!

I have no idea what happened next, as I lost my grip on the slot machine I was hanging onto and hit the floor laughing uncontrollably.

Thanks, Melusine! The only thing that makes me laugh harder than other peoples misfortunes are my own... this happened about a year ago...

I am the chief paint tech at my company, we make soundboards, "desks" as they are called in europe. My duties include making one-off cool things for visiting music industry bigwigs. Well one day we are having a group tour through my shop, and I come in a bit late. The tour guide has been talking up my abilities and generally making me sound much better than I am. As I walk in the door, the tour guide turns around and says, "Here he is now, maybe he'll show us something he's been working on?"
Not wanting to disappoint her, as I walk past a workbench, I reach for a rather large ball-peen hammer, intending to give it a flip and casually drop it into my toolbelt. Although I reach for the heavy hammer, I actually grab a much lighter one sitting next to it.
As I am prepared to heft the larger hammer, I exert far too much force on the smaller, although still quite solid hammer, and succesfully slam it into my temple. At this point the show's over, I hit the ground, and the tour guide calls 911. I came out with a mild concussion, a completely fractured pride, and the nickname of MC Hammer.
I only wish I had a video of the incident, it had to have been proper scream.
